The first Epic Mickey 2 details have arrived from the latest issue of Nintendo Power. We learn that Dreamrift is making a sprite-based follow-up to the first Epic Mickey, and it appears to be a spiritual successor to Castle of Illusion for the Sega Genesis.

For the first bits of information, read on below.

– Game is a follow-up to Epic Mickey as well as Castle of Illusion (classic Sega Genesis game)
– Heavy use of the stylus
– Tap item icons that are in every level to “paint” (trace) items into existence
– This includes cliffs, cannons, floating platforms
– Better tracing will cause better things to happen
– Flawlessly-painted canon will only damage Mickey’s enemies
– Messing up the painting can result in danger to everyone in the area
– Sometimes have to erase objects
– Erase with thinner by using the stylus
– Hand-drawn sprites
– Every level is based on an animated Disney adventure
– This includes “Sleeping Beauty”, “Peter Pan”, and “Tangled”
– Each character Mickey saves will take up residence in the fortress that Mickey uses as his home base
– This fortress is a hub
– Characters will decorate the fort
– Witch from Snow White is the main villain
– Worlds from all eras of Disney
– Scrooge Mcduck, Oswald, and Minnie is in the game

A quick reminder to the Kid Icarus: Uprising players out there.

Nintendo has started to transmit SpotPass gems for the game (this actually began a couple of days ago), which can be used to acquire new weapons. Be aware that all gems can be found in the StreetPass menu – even ones acquired through SpotPass!
